[TheForge] honeydoos are dangerous

[Andrew Vida]

Ouch.

Not sure what else to say... except perhaps that you are not alone? My 
hands are cut and abraded all to hell, mostly with the work on the 
basement, but also with this past week's conversion of the back porch 
into a heated greenhouse.  It came out OK.  All new railings, siding to 
match the rest of the house, temporary "windows", NG heater... it's OK.  
My wife does more for me than I could ever repay, so I figure I owe her 
a greenhouse, even if just a short-term solution example.  Cuts heal... 
though I notice they now take a LOT longer.
